Recipe of the Day: Grilled Marinated Flank Steak

[AngelsWin.com]

Flank steak is a lean, somewhat tough but flavorful cut of beef that benefits from the tenderizing effects of a marinade. It is best cooked medium rare and thinly sliced at an angle across the grain of the meat.

Prepared this way, marinated, cooked quickly at high heat, thinly sliced, flank steak practically melts in your mouth. This recipe calls for grilling the steak, but if you don’t have a grill, you can prepare the steak on a large cast iron frying pan as well.

They didn't disgrace the recipe with some ridiculous sides, like hummus or cauliflower.

what do you dudes think about the marinade?

i'm pretty sure this cheap cut is the first thing i ever learned to cooked. wouldn't be surprised if the marinade i used was one of those chipotle seasoning bottles

I'd probably throw a little cilantro in there. I like what it brings to most marinades. And some orange juice.

I'd add a bit of fresh chopped ginger to the marinade and maybe some sesame seeds

Flank steak is my go to for drunken tacos. Marinade with beer, garlic and spices for a couple hours then on to a hot grill. Past medium rare and it can get tough to chew. Have to let it rest so it doesn't bleed out when you cut it.

Flank used to be cheap, but now it's pretty spendy (when you can even find it). I can sometimes find it at  carnicerias down in the central valley, but you have to know what you are looking for because the Spanish names for it are all over the place and they sometimes don't know wtf they have in the case.

Flanco, Falda, (Falda means skirt in Spanish but it is almost always Flank steak) and I've seen it under other names also. But even in those places it has become high priced. 

One of my favorite cuts, for sure.

btw... I always grill this up before chopping it up into small pieces when I'm making carne asada tacos for guests.

But before that, I marinade the flank steak overnight with Jalapenos, Cilantro, onions, chipotle paste and a 1/2 cup of water.
